The oik-blocks plugin delivers WordPress 5.0 blocks, aka Gutenberg blocks, for oik shortcodes. Use these blocks when creating new content in the WordPress block editor aka Gutenberg.
oik delivers over 80 shortcodes. Some of these are crying out to be converted into advanced WordPress blocks.

Most of these blocks have now been replaced by blocks delivered by the appropriate plugin.
